Application filed July 3,

This invention relates to a cover for a waste receptacle.

The object of this invention is to simply and generally improve such structures.

The invention comprises the novel structure and combinations hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the diflerent views: V

Figure 1 is an elevational view of awaste can involving this invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of the top portion of the can;

Figure 4 is a part sectional and part eleva- 7 tional view of the top portion of the can with the handle omitted.

Figure 5 is an enlarged central sectional view of the top portion of the can.

Figure 6 is an elevational view of a waste can involving a slight modification.

Figure 7 is an enlarged top plan View of the same.

Figure 8 is an enlarged elevational view of the modified cover.

Figure 9 is an elevational view of the modified cover showing the same in tilted position in dotted lines.

Figure 10 is an enlarged sectional view of the modified cover upon the line 10--10 of Figure 8.

Figure 11 is an elevational view of a slightly different form of waste can.

As sho-wn'on the drawings Referring to Figures 1 to 5, itwill be observed that the waste can consists of a cylindrical container 1 having a removable and swing cover 2. The invention concerns itself primarily with the novel structure for supporting the cover so that it can be swung from side to side and readily removed from the receptacle.

With this in view, an arcuate member of support 3 is provided with an upwardly 6X-' tending oflsetd for receiving the. upwardly extending arms 5 of a U shaped clip 6 attached to the top of the cover which is shown 19%. Serial No. 723,883.

as of spherical contour. A pin 7 pivotally connects the arms 5 to the offset 4:. The lower ends of the arcuate support 3 are welded or secured to a flanged ring8v which fits within the mouth of the receptacle which has a curl or head 9 at its upper end upon which the flange of the ring rests. The lower edge of the cover 2 extends fairly close to the top of the flange of the ring 8 so as to close the receptacle. A handle 10 is pivoted to a pair of lugs 11 upon the periphery of the receptacle whereby the same may be readily handled.

In Figures 6 to 10 there is shown a slight modification in which the cover 2 has a pair of spaced upstanding lugs 12 at its top which extend into the offset 4 of the arcuate support 3 to which they are pivoted by a pin 7. In this case, the ends of the arcuate support 3 are secured to a ring 8 which fits exteriorly of the receptacle 1 and rests upon a head 13. r

In Figures 1 to 10 the waste can is shown as of cylindrical form. The same however may be made of polygonal form as shown in Figure 11 in which the cover 2 is stamped to fit the mouth of the receptacle 1 and is supported by an arcuate member 3 reniovably attached to the sides of the receptac e.

It will be evident that the cover may be readily swung to partially open the can from two diametrically opposite points. That is it may be swung in two directions to partially open the mouth of the receptacle for receiving waste or the like. 7

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the waste can involving this invention is ofsimple construction and is so de signed that the cover can be readily removed for emptying and cleansing the receptacle.

I am aware that many changes may be made, and numerous details of construction may be varied through a widerange without departing from the principles of this invention, limiting the patent granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention: 7

1. In a waste can, a receptacle, a ring supported at the mouth of said receptacle, an

and I therefore do not purpose 7 cured to said ring and having an offset portlon and a cover having means pivoted in said offset portion. 10

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subserlbed my name.
